Dianne Chai is an American bass player.[1] She was one of the founders of the L.A. punk rock band The Alley Cats.[2]

Career

Chai formed The Alley Cats with then-husband Randy Stodola[3] and drummer John McCarthy.[4]

Chris Morris (former senior writer at Billboard, music editor at The Hollywood Reporter and critic at The Los Angeles Reader[5]), writing in John Doe's book Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk said, "They made some of the toughest, most nihilistic music on the scene."[4] Violence at shows featuring bands such as the Bags and The Alley Cats caused Madame Wong's restaurant to stop featuring punk bands[1] and switch to slower tempo new wave acts.[6]

Chai along with ex-Alley Cats John McCarthy and Randy Stodola formed The Zarkons in 1985[7] for which Chai sang and played bass.[8]

Chai eventually remarried to the manager of The Alley Cats, Marshall Berle, and began working as a travel agent in Florida.[4]
